I’m new

Hi, I’m new to this so not sure how to begin or how it works. I’m about to start a third attempt at ivf to have a second baby and am hanging on by my fingernails. Im 42 and so the chances of ivf working are very slim. I’m very lucky as I have a 2 year old son already but im desperate to give him a brother or sister, and the whole thing has completely overwhelmed me. I’ve been referred to a psychologist but that has only just begun and is once a week. Is there any other help out there? I’m really struggling... Thank you

Hi I have a 6 month old and one frostie left and hoping to try by the end of the year to give our baby a sibling. To be honest I'm started to fret thinking about it now! So you're not alone. Xxx

Also sorry I'm not much help and not sure what help there is out there, but just wanted to say I understand how you feel. I suppose I'm panicking that I only have one frostie left. How many have you left? I have always transferred 2 embies, and on 3rd transfer resulted in my beautiful boy so I suppose I'm feeling deflated that chances are slim with my last one. Xxx

Thanks, it does help to know there are others going through this. I’ve never got enough embryos to freeze, have always had to do fresh cycles. Have done 4 rounds in total: one miscarriage, one where I got my son and the most recent 2 failed. It’s just so hard... Good luck I hope things go well for your frozen one, fingers crossed.
